I searched and couldn't find any - but I just spotted this one as a link at the bottom of the page - http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/qantas-frequent-flyer-program/record-for-most-scs-year-29535-12.html I did find this thread on the gifts though -...

Re: When unstated WP, WP1 and CL benefits become almost farcical to fellow passengers Only a lowly WP but on two international flights last week in Y I was offered J class noise cancelling headphones and a glass of Champagne preflight. Of course I also got the effusive "Welcome back Mr Bodog -...

Horrible experience in Sydney yesterday on QF 429 - Two of us WPs complained to the Qantas agent and he basically said "nothing I can do sir" - complete lack of interest I said to the agent scanning boarding passes "there's a lot of platinum members flying today" and he didn't get the sarcasm...

and on the Qantas site under Member Specials Frequent Flyer - Member Specials - Pay Like Tony has observed I can confirm that the sign up process can be a challenge - but the 30000 points are nice to have...

Re: Approaches for dealing with 'electronic devices off' Well not all of them - mine doesn't have 3G so it would be a miracle if it was chatting on the cellular network...

Sometimes it can work out well... On Sunday I politely reminded a guy using his iPad after the announcement to turn off to do so (I said I'd got told off on an earleir flight so was just trying to make sure he didn't suffer a similar fate) He was quite happy to turn it off and we then spent the...

In the Qantas Sydney Business lounge now and there's plenty of red on display here (and a couple of Hawks supporters) Go the Swans!
